  • AN TEALLACH COMES ALIVE It’S One of Our Finest Mountains
    James Hawkins BEHIND THE PICTURE AN TEALLACH COMES ALIVE It’s one of our finest mountains. Now it has the painting it deserves. And it’s all thanks to a remarkable artist with a passion for colour, geology and wilderness walking. WORDS DAN ASPEL PICTURE JAMES HAWKINS ames Hawkins speaks for anyone who’s ever seen the most dramatically notched 1062m mountain in Britain when he says “An Teallach is amazing”. What Trail couldn’t get him to say (but we can now, to spare his modesty) is that his paintings of this Scottish peak capture it like nothing else you’re likely to lay eyes on. Take the image printed here. The landscape is lashed by reedy needles of rain above a shimmering foreground of heather and brush. There’s a blurry unreality to some parts and an arresting crispness to others. The mountain outline at its centre is stark. But that’s just our opinion; to find out how James makes such vivid images, we spoke to the man himself. “Being out on the hill is many experiences in one,” says the 37-year resident of Loch Broom’s shores, “and there’s a lot of movement – from the walker themselves, to the wind around them, to the trees. Trying to distil all of that, you have to create something more than just a single static image.” To achieve these he uses “a combination of memory, drawing and photographs”. This means that once back in the studio after – very likely – many walks, he’ll run a slideshow of all the images he’s collected of a certain peak and draw inspiration from “theJ colour in a bit of sky”, or “a profile of a mountain from a neighbouring summit”.

(p167) Making Tracks in Scottish Gullies MARTIN BURROWS-SMITH Chief Instructor at Glenmore Lodge The Scottish National Outdoor Training Centre (Plates 36,37) Midday, mid-week in mid-February, I was resting at the summitofSgurr Mor, a fine peak in the Central Fannaichs of the Northern Highlands. I had been here before with my skis the previous winter, and looking across to the magnificent flanks of Sgurr nan Clach Geala, I recalled an epic descent of Alpha Gully on its E face. That had been an on-sight day, no previous inspection, and wild skiing down the crest of the buttress had led to a tortuous descent of the gully itself, often too tight to turn, but eventually I had been spat out onto its supporting but avalanching apron of snow. The reascent to the plateau had been a good Grade III and required careful negotiation to avoid exposed slopes of windslab. I had continued to Sgurr Mor for a look at Easter Gully on its E face, but had prudently chickened out.

  • Quaternary of Scotland the GEOLOGICAL CONSERVATION REVIEW SERIES
    Quaternary of Scotland THE GEOLOGICAL CONSERVATION REVIEW SERIES The comparatively small land area of Great Britain contains an unrivalled sequence of rocks, mineral and fossil deposits, and a variety of landforms that span much of the earth's long history. Well-documented ancient volcanic episodes, famous fossil sites, and sedimentary rock sections used internationally as comparative standards, have given these islands an importance out of all proportion to their size. These long sequences of strata and their organic and inorganic contents, have been studied by generations of leading geologists thus giving Britain a unique status in the development of the science. Many of the divisions of geological time used throughout the world are named after British sites or areas, for instance the Cambrian, Ordovician and Devonian systems, the Ludlow Series and the Kimmeridgian and Portlandian stages. The Geological Conservation Review (GCR) was initiated by the Nature Conservancy Council in 1977 to assess, document, and ultimately publish accounts of the most important parts of this rich heritage. The GCR reviews the current state of knowledge of the key earth-science sites in Great Britain and provides a firm basis on which site conservation can be founded in years to come. Each GCR volume describes and assesses networks of sites of national or international importance in the context of a portion of the geological column, or a geological, palaeontological, or mineralogical topic. The full series of approximately 50 volumes will be published by the year 2000. Within each individual volume, every GCR locality is described in detail in a self- contained account, consisting of highlights (a precis of the special interest of the site), an introduction (with a concise history of previous work), a description, an interpretation (assessing the fundamentals of the site's scientific interest and importance), and a conclusion (written in simpler terms for the non-specialist).

During this period a self triggered avalanche in Glencoe carried a party of two down the gully they were ascending, they escaped without injury. December was a particularly stormy month with regularly occurring, very strong winds, blizzard conditions and cold temperatures; cold temperatures in particular present conditions which maintain buried weaknesses for long periods of time. Consequently a number of triggered avalanches were reported during this period, Northern Cairngorms, Ben Nevis, Glencoe and Ben More Assynt provided one incident each, with all parties unharmed.
